Hi,

my application uses multiple sub-windows and panels. Each window/panel may have its own set of accelerator keys, menus etc.

I handle this by setting the accelerator table in OnSetFocus, and restoring the previous table in KillFocus. While migrating this to XMP, I found the class CXTPShortcutManager.

Since the documentation is as usual sparse, and all examples only handle the simple case of one accelerator table per application, I wonder if CXTPShortcutManager would be helpful for my case.

Has anybody here used this class in other ways than the simple usage shown in the Codejock samples? Perhaps even in a dynamic application with "per-window" keyboard shortcuts?

Hi,

You can try assign instance of CXTPShortcutManager for each Panel and call pShortcutManager->TranslateAccelerator() in PretranslateMessage of each pane.

Hi, Oleg

thanks for the swift reply!
This answers my question.

This approach would be pretty similar to what I already have. My base pane class does all the accelerator table handling automatically, so I would not gain much from switching to the XTP shortcut manager.

Unless there is some cool functionality in the XTP shortcut manager I'm missing, I guess I'll stick to what I have for now.
